I've had mine for about two years and because it's shiny I look after it. It's like tape measures, if you have 3 you leave them all over because you have a spare. Have only one and you take more care of it I find. Coley they are pretty strong but even now and then you need to strip it right back...

I had the same problem in my container which obviously is all steel. Basically just insulate against the roof with either kingspan/celotex/cavity wall slab whatever and fill any little gaps with expanding foam. Then completely cover with a plastic membrane and I'd use 11mm osb to finish. This...

I've done my workshop and quite a bit of my house with celotex so have experience of both. Simply for your own sanity bite the bullet and use celotex. It's cleaner, quicker, won't hold moisture and is a less attractive home for small fury things! I know the cost is off putting but it's a crappy...

Pentel Graphgear 1000 are brilliant. The pointy tip retracts when you close it so you can put in in your pocket without it breaking the lead and snagging on the material. Had mine 2 years or so and it's used daily without issue. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

What Woodmonkey said. The axminster blades are spot on and make a good cut for the price. Delivery is really good as well now. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Colt do a zero mark in three sizes. Fully adjustable for pilot and countersink depths as well. Good stuff nicely made. CW Tyzak sell them on eBay if I remember correctly. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

As it happens I had this same problem last week all be it with a Dewalt jig. The fix for a joint that's too tight is to make the depth of cut shallower. In my case it was by approximately 3mm but that resulted in an excellent fit. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Is the drive belt in the bottom cabinet tight? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Just check because I'm sure Orbital Fasteners are selling 2 x 1600 Bosch rails in a bag with the connecter for just under £100. You can buy a lot of clamps with the change :-) Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Don't buy the Mafell rails they are priced up and re-badged Bosch. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Weekend warrior = Makita Bigger budget = Festool Trade = Mafell Seriously there's not that much between them unless you're fitting £50k kitchens. They will all cut a perfectly straight line in the right hands. Pick a colour and go make some sawdust! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Owsnap clearly hates dewalt and that's fine but he needs to get a grip. The drill listed by the op is a cheap dewalt but makita, bosch, erbauer etc. also do cheap options. I am a professional user with experience of most brands and my opinion stays the same. Buy the pro range of any brand and...

Hop House Lager from Guinness......and before I get slated by the real ale brigade beer in Europe is lager so there! Oh and Stella if they run out...don't like spirits they get me into trouble! Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

Stanley tapes even though they are about £2.50 on amazon are mil perfect over a meter and not much more over that. Bargain in my book. Just buy a gold fax max one if you need some bling in your box :-) Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

Take my advice from someone doing this several times before. Don't use any expensive vacuum for soot, especially if it's in any way damp it stinks! Just buy a Henry with good bags and go for it they just keep going.......and going.....and going......and if you do manage to break one they are...
